A small convertiplane design of mine

I created a concept for a military convertiplane aircraft called the XH-132-2 Military Convertiplane. I drew two versions of this aircraft:

1: An unarmed military transport with carbon re-enforced fuselage, retractable tricycle-type landing gear, small twin turboshaft engines, 8-bladed main rotor, and a medium Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP) below a 6-bladed tail rotor.

2: An armed military transport, as the unarmed transport, but with modified two-by-two tandem seated cockpit, laser sights (above cockpit), extended tricycle-type landing gear, .50 cal. chin gun, bulletproof-glass-glazed quad .50 cal. turrets mounted on the starboard and port rear and sides, and a belly turret. There is also a weapon pylon, between the wing support and turbojet engine, on each wing. This aircraft might carry less cargo/personnel than the unarmed transport.

Some of you may think this aircraft is remotly possible to fly, but its an idea, right?

My imagination feels incomplete since there's no top view drawing, is there any bro?

Not at the moment, but Ill probably get around to it soon.

Hmm, about your fuselage, why the dip in the middle section?

it always gives me the feeling that those propeller blades will be ripped off if your plane tries to use those turbo engines.

I got the idea from a Doman helicopter/airliner project. The artist's picture shows a large cockpit area and a dipped center fuselage. I thought it made it more aerodynamic in high-speed flight.

I thought really hard about that. Then, I thought of an old idea: retractable rotor blades. You see, when the aircraft takes off, it takes off verticly (the reason for the rotor blades) and starts up the turbojet engines when the altitude is high enough to shut down and stow away the rotor blades in mid-air.

Its an old idea, but its sure a golden one!
